banaThiery she stood there motionless, the sound of her own heartbeat ringing in her ears, staring down at the doorknob for what must have been ahns, when the handle began to rotate she stepped back, hand lifted to cover her mouth silencing any sound that might escape, eyes widen she watched until she heard the sound of swearing
[04:16p] banaThiery shuffling sounds from the other side of the door, a shouted command for keys followed by what sounded like someone trying to break the door down, in a flash she was in motion, whirling about she bolted to the window, leaning out she looked down, feeling her stomach lurch with fear, there was no way to safely jump
[04:21p] banaThiery turning her head to look left then right she studied the narrow landing then the pitch of the roof, even if she went out the window the thought of falling coupled with her fear of heights almost made her physically ill, turning around to look around the room she raced to the table tossing the food back inside the travel pack, adding her Master’s chronometer last she slide her arms through the straps pulling the pack tight against back
[04:24p] banaThiery she had just crouched on all fours beneath the table, barely hidden by the tablecloth when the wood began to splinter, the door flew open creating a gust of wind that swept through the room causing the curtains to sway, as luck would have it she watched as someone charged in racing straight towards the window, leaning forward she could see the back of the Free Man’s body as he leaned out to survey things below
[04:29p] banaThiery scrambling from beneath the table she bolted for the door, barely clearing the threshold when she heard cursing behind her, she started to run back the way her Master led them up when they arrived only the sound of loud footsteps approaching from stairs caused her to turn and flee in the opposite direction
[04:32p] banaThiery unaware of where she was going she simply ran, following the long corridor, coming to the end she feared she was trapped when to the right the wall opened up exposing another stairwell, reaching out with hands brushing against the walls she descended the winding stairs, in sight of the bottom step she was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of baked bread
[04:36p] banaThiery reaching the landing she popped out into the middle of a bustling kitchen, slaves hurriedly moved about preparing food oblivious of her presence, echo of boots on the stairs behind her brought on a sense of panic, uncharacteristic like she step forward and with all her might shoved an unsuspecting slave forward into other girl
[04:41p] banaThiery propelled into another slave the first screamed when the tray she carried went airborne, what started as a shove turned into full on mayhem causing a domino effect of comical dance steps attempting to defy gravity to prevent dropping trays, a performance of scrambling slaves accented by projectile roast, flying tarts and a crescendo of flour that somehow seemed to dust everything
[04:45p] banaThiery timid slaves suddenly turned into combative brats hurling insults and waving fists, ready to fight over the loss of prepared food but unaware of who the instigator was, taking advantage of the confusion she tucked the backpack out of sight, grabbing a stack of plates she hurried to the sink, smiling as she slid into the spot previously held by a dumbfounded onlooker
[04:49p] banaThiery just in time she lowered the plates into the water and began to vigorously scrub the dish, behind her heard the arrival of her pursuers, loud coughing followed by shouting, “yes Master”, mumbled responses of “nay no runners Master” swirled in the background, it was out of the corner her eye she saw the arrival of the Inn Keeper, fearing being exposed she ducked her head her intense scrubbing continued
[04:53p] banaThiery it was the gruff voice of the Inn Keeper that proclaimed he had seen a girl headed out the back entrance into the gardens, retreating footsteps brought a sigh of relief when her pursuers vanished leaving her in the midst of the embattled kitchen staff
[04:56p] banaThiery slaves covered in gravy and larma pie filling squared off circling like wild larls, each demanding the other apologize, arguing over just who was going to clean up the mess, not one to miss an opportunity she released the plate walking quickly to where she hid the pack, snagging the leather strap she hauled it up from the floor and quickly made her exit
[05:00p] banaThiery relieved to be shed of the heat of the cook fires she stepped out into the garden moving quickly behind a tree she stood watching the Inn Keeper guide the cloaked Men towards a shed, terrified shrieks of an unsuspecting slave affirmed they had caught up to the wrong slave, feeling slightly guilty she glanced towards Men as they questioned the poor slave, without moment’s delay she slipped around the building and down an alley…….
